President Biden & Death by Guns

Interestingly, you’ll rarely hear President Biden talk about violent crime, violent criminals or criminal violence; instead, he tends to use phrases like “gun violence” and “public-health crisis” to make it all about guns. Likewise, you’ll rarely hear him talk about ratcheting up law-enforcement efforts in locations with runaway violent crime. He also doesn’t like to talk about vigorous prosecution of those arrested for violent assault and murder.

Biden’s focus on the gun, not the criminal, and his semantic use of certain catchphrases, such as “gun violence,” is an intentional strategy to try to convince Americans who are somewhere in the middle on this issue to agree with him that our Second Amendment rights need to be curtailed.
